Agenda

GO Meeting Reminder

Noctua Modeling Discussion

  • myo2_rlc1_PMID19570908
  • Regulation of fission yeast myosin-II function and contractile ring dynamics by regulatory light-chain and heavy-chain phosphorylation.
  • In vitro and in vivo assays using nonphosphorylatable or phosphomimetic Rlc1 mutations show that Rlc1 somehow positively regulates the actin filament-based motor activity of Myo2 as part of actomyosin contractile ring contraction, in turn part of mitotic cytokinesis.
    • We were very tempted to say that Rlc1's unknown MF regulator activity directly positively regulates Myo2's microfilament motor activity because:
      • Rlc1 has previously been shown to bind Myo2;
      • The in vitro assays (Fig.1, Table 3) show an effect on Myo2 motor activity with only F-actin, Myo2, Cdc4. and Rlc1 (heavy chain, essential light chain, and regulatory light chains respectively) present.
    • The reason we didn't, and instead included the actin filament-based movement "link", is that the is_a hierarchy has motor activity as a subtype of NTPase activity:
     GO:0017111 ! nucleoside-triphosphatase activity
     -- is_a GO:0003774 ! motor activity
     ---- is_a GO:0000146 ! microfilament motor activity
 
  • From this, reasoning would infer this regulation hierarchy (whether regulation terms are instantiated or not):
     regulation of nucleoside-triphosphatase activity
     -- is_a regulation of motor activity
     ---- is_a regulation of microfilament motor activity
 
  • ... and erroneously conclude that Rlc1 does regulate Myo2's ATPase activity. The Rlc1 mutant phenotypes here say it doesn't (Fig. 76, Table 3).
  • Questions:
    • Should the MF ontology change to motor activity has_part nucleoside-triphosphatase activity?
    • Does LEGO have any way to capture when a molecular mechanism isn't known, but one possibility has been ruled out?
